Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Difference between revisions

m
Line 170:
* Pretty much the whole plot of ''[[Spaced Invaders]]''. The aliens want to conquer Earth, but aren't all-too good at it.
* The ED-209 from ''[[Robocop]]'' can't be held accountable for its incompetence because it was a mindless machine, but it was clearly a poorly designed one. Its logic circuits could not process information as quickly as a human brain (making it dumber than even a PC bought from a Radio Shack in the 80s) and could not even maneuver itself down a flight of stairs, which is exactly how the protagonist defeated it.
* RoboGadget, the evil android imposter of the protagonist of ''[[Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]. When inevitably confronted by the real Gadget, he actually makes the iconic [[Idiot Hero]] seem competent in comparison.
